They get pretty got if you leave them in there long enough!!!! We were staying at a little cabin in MT two years ago. I put a load of clothes in the dryer at 11:30pm right before I went to bed. When I got up around 7:30 in the morning the dryer was running and I thought it was weird but just figured my wife started it for a bit to finish drying them. Asked her about it and she didn't know what I was talking about. Opened it up and the clothes in the dryer were so hot you physically couldn't grab them. Oh and there were a few items in there that no longer fit any more.
